His party of six spent the summer of 1911-1912 camped at Cape Adare in the middle of the world's largest colony of Adélie penguins. Until 2012 he remained the only scientist to spend an entire breeding season with the penguins. His detailed observations of their breeding behaviour were considered too controversial to publish at the time. Levick and his party were forced to overwinter in 1912 on Inexpressible Island in a cramped ice cave. After active service during WWI, Levick pursued his interest in physical and recreational training, becoming involved in the training of blind people in physiotherapy and founding the Public Schools Exploring Society. 1910 1913 Career position - Surgeon and Zoologist, Terra Nova Antarctic Expedition 1910 1913 Career position - Staff Surgeon, Royal Navy 1915 1917 Career position - Surgeon Commander, Royal Navy 1917 1917 Life event - Retired from the Royal Navy
